Bugging out; when bad things happen to inept people

We've just addressed the time between arrival and combat.

It's unlikely that people are often going to arrive under fire, but in most cases, someone's going to leave under fire.

  1. Standard rules for FTL'ing out apply. Executive summary, six inch spacing between ships, no use of manoeuvre drive and no weapons fired during the run-up to departure.
  2. Immediately write down your destination; that's where you're going to be in a week. You're going to want to think hard about whether you announce this before everyone else has written down their strategic move.
  3. You arrive at your destination travelling in the same formation, spacing and speed that you had when you left the last hell hole.
  4. This could conceivably be pretty horrible.
